There is Black Art in the Future

June 2021-June 2024

Curated and designed by Juliandra Jones, this exhibit showcased the works of seven Black female artists residing in Pittsburgh. Each artist was invited to explore pressing contemporary issues including racial injustice, Covid-19, economic disparity, climate change, and political polarization.

On Juneteenth of 2021, IFEP unveiled the art installation "There is Black Art in the Future" on the facade of the Pitt Building, located at 211-213 Smithfield St. in downtown Pittsburgh, where it remained for three years.
